SPEAKER GUIDE

WELCOME

We are incredibly excited to welcome you as a speaker at the 2023 Southeast Energy Summit. Thank you for your contribution to this year’s summit and for helping advance SEEA’s mission to optimize the use and impact of energy in the Southeast for more than 16 years.

This year we expect to welcome 250 people from across the Southeast and the U.S. Our audience has traditionally included senior decision-makers, utility leaders, regulators, program managers, entrepreneurs and advocates from across the energy sector. Most of our attendees are in executive or senior-level roles and represent energy products and services companies. About one-third of our attendees work in government, academia and nonprofit organizations and utilities make up the remaining registrants.

REGISTRATION

All speakers must register for the summit regardless of whether they plan on attending the entire conference. If you would like to attend the full summit, we have extended the lowest registration rate of $449 to all of our speakers. If you will only be attending your session, register for a non-attending speaker credential free of charge. Please note that the non-attending speaker registration does not include access to any breakout or joint sessions, meals, events or the exhibitor hall. If you need assistance registering, please contact Sarah Burgher, senior marketing and communications manager.
